US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...

I hope you are well. It's been so long since you have written anything I am beginning to think you may have a personal crisis going on. I hope not. I hope you are just busy and don't have time to write.
I pop in to read you very beautiful prose ... hope to read a new one soon.
The democratic slate is nuts. Gatewood seems to be the only real man with nothing in his closet.
I like Harper on the Republican slate.
I tell you what, slim pickens on the dems though. It's a bummer for me since I'm a dem.
Gatewood has my vote.
Good speed my friend,

Stopped in to get some intellegent prose on the KY govenor's race (and the Derby for that matter!) and there's nothing here about either. Don't loose faith in your commentary. Come back. We modern conservatives need and enjoy your takes and wit!!!

Thank you all for continuing to check in and for your encouragement while I was away. I hope you'll better understand after reading the post today. Possibly some of you can relate!
All the best,
